2Artistic Director, Yokohama Triennale 2014 MORIMURA Yasumasa

Embarking on a Voyage into the Sea of Oblivion
Haven’ t we left behind something that is fundamentally important? Have we moved on without realizing it,
or simply, left it behind, while knowing it all along?
There are artists and artistic expressions that respond acutely to this realm of oblivion.
Yokohama Triennale 2014 will be a “voyage into the sea of oblivion.” It will make us recall things that havebeen inadvertently lost from our lives, things that have been perpetually forgotten by human beings, andparticular things that have been lost in the contemporary age.
A Voyage of Silence and Whispers
Things that are quiet fail to be recorded, and are therefore, forgotten. Whispers remain unheard unless
we pay close attention. This is a voyage to explore the richness of the vast world of untold information.
A Voyage of Fahrenheit 451
Thought control, a process in which things are forcibly obliterated, is a tragedy that has recurred throughout human history. This is a voyage to reflect on this phenomenon and to put it into perspective.
A Voyage into the UselessThings that are not useful are discarded and forgotten. But there is a splendid means of saving them: art.
This is a voyage that takes us to the essence of art.
A Voyage to Meet the Enfants Terribles
People discard childhood memories in order to become adults. But some are so enthralled by their memories that they do not grow up. Artists are the epitome of this type. They are children who have failed to
grow up. This is a voyage that takes us back to when we were first born, to a place that we left behindwhen we became adults.
Drifting into a Sea of Oblivion
The voyagers (viewers) will come to a vast sea of oblivion at the end of their journey. The world that extends beyond the sea is so vast that memories and information cannot match its scale. The voyagers will
finally drift into this sea of oblivion. And each of them will search for a destination and set out on a different voyage of their own.

3Things that do not speak, things we must not speak about, and things we are unable to speak about.
Things we do not see and things we must not see. Trivial matters and useless actions.
This is a voyage that focuses our attentions on the innumerable things that have been deemed worthlessin the realm of memory. It is a voyage to cultivate our gazes.
Yokohama Triennale 2014 aims to present a story of such a voyage through the mind.

Kama Gei
Founded 2012 in Osaka (Japan).
The Kama Gei (or “Kamagasaki free art university” ) offers a series of art workshops overseen by The Room for Full of Voice, Words, and Hearts (Cocoroom), an NPO based in the
Kamagasaki district of Nishinari, Osaka. Kama Gei organizes lectures and workshops by
specialists on various subjects including calligraphy, ar t, communication, poetr y andastronomy. In an environment where teachers and students share the joy of learning,
Kama Gei aims to give participants the energy and hope to live. Learning in Kamagasaki,
which is historically a gathering place for day laborers, implies encounters with the things
discarded in the course of modernization in Japan or with people whose lives have been
disregarded. While Kama Gei operates in an aging community, it is open to everyone andaccepts anyone wishing to participate. During the Triennale, Kama Gei will be introduced
through documents and materials describing its regular activities and visiting lectures.
Through personal exchanges between people in Yokohama and Kamagasaki, Kama Gei
will provide opportunities to think about ways of embarking on a future together.

Michael LANDY
Born 1963 in London (U.K.). Lives and works in London.
In 1988, Landy took part in “Freeze,” an independently organized exhibition held with agroup of ar tists including Damien Hirst, and later became associated with the Young
British Ar tists ( YBAs). In his practice, the act of owning and destroying a work of ar t
becomes art itself. In Break Down (2001), Landy catalogued all his (7,227 worldly) possessions, including his car, bir th cer tificate, books, and works by other ar tists, andperformed destroying these objects over a period of two weeks. Art Bin, a participatory
project that grew out of Break Down, measured some 600 cubic meters and was firstshown in London in 2010. In a new version of the work, Art Bin – Bin for Works of Art,
made for the Triennale, an enormous container invites artists to discard failed and pastworks, and build “a monument to creative failure.”

Melvin MOTI
Born 1977 in Rotterdam (Netherlands). Lives and works in Rotterdam.
Moti studied at Academie voor Beeldende Vorming in T ilburg and De Ateliers in
Amsterdam, the Netherlands. Adopting a unique viewpoint, he selects themes fromforgotten incidents, hidden historical facts and anecdotes, and creates film works after
conducting thorough research on the subjects. He exhibited in “The Encyclopedic
Palace” held in the Central Pavilion at the Venice Biennale 2013, and will be presenting
his new work for MAM Projects at Mori Art Museum in Tokyo in May 2014. No Show
(2004), which will be shown at the Triennale, reconstructs the story of a guide at theHermitage Museum in Saint Petersburg, Russia, who conducted guided tours in frontof the empty frames during the Second World War when the collection was evacuatedfrom the museum. The film depicts a tranquil scene in dim light, and is narrated by therobust voice of the guide who passionately holds forth on the works of art.

Gregor SCHNEIDER
Born 1969 in Rheydt (Germany). Lives and works in Rheydt.
Schneider started creating art in his early teens and held his first solo exhibition at a local
gallery in 1985 when he was 16. In the same year, he started working on Haus u r (Houseu r), a project in which he reconstructed his own house in Rheydt by, for instance, building a wall in front of an existing wall or constructing another room within a room. The
work, which is still in progress (and will likely develop throughout the artist’s lifetime), is
considered one of his masterpieces. Totes Haus u r (Dead House u r), in which he duplicated rooms of his house in a likewise manner and reconstructed them in other places,
was on view in the German Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in 2001 and won the Golden
Lion. Schneider has been working on a number of site-specific installations that distort

TAKAYAMA Akira
Born 1969 in Saitama (Japan).
Takayama studied theater in Germany, and is currently active as a theater director basedin Tokyo. Since 2002 he has led the theater and performance unit Port B, which presents
experimental works that transcend the framework of traditional theater, with the city
streets as both stage and audience venue. Port B stages “tour performances,” in which
participants move through the city as they experience the work and the city itself is conceived as a vast installation, and social-experiment projects that generate situations
where fiction and reality intersect. These invite participants to call their own perceptionsof actual society into question. For the Triennale, Takayama will form a temporary community along with Yokohama residents that have roots in various Asian countries. The
group will circulate around the city with a mobile stage set that evolves with each stop in
a new location. Through dialogues and the activities of individuals, this social
research-oriented project will shed new light on contemporary Yokohama.

WADA Masahiro
Born 1977 in Tokyo (Japan). Lives and works in Tokyo.
Wada graduated from Goldsmiths College, University of London and is now based in
Tok yo. He works in a wide range of media including video, sculpture, installation andperformance. In his work Stylish Flies for House Wives (2012), he refers to the relationships among family members, such as “husband and wife” and “parent and child,” using
an irrelevant combination of key words: “house wives” and “flies.” Recorrido Arqueologico#1 (2013), based on his experiences during an ar tist-in-residence program in Mexico,
overlaps his personal memories with the history of the land. In this video, he describes
his encounter and integration with a different culture. Wada’s approach entails focusing
on incidents he encounters in everyday life that seemingly have no correlation, carefully
bringing out the facts underneath, and creating works. He is planning to exhibit his newvideo installation at the Triennale.

8Visual Design

B1-sized posters

The official poster and overall visual design for Yokohama Triennale 2014 aim to visualize the exhibition’s
key concept, “sea of oblivion,” using linocut images.
Under the direction of the graphic designer Ariyama Tatsuya, Michael Landy, one of the artists participating in the exhibition, provided the title lettering, and Yokohama-native artist Kasai Erika carved the lettersusing linocut.
The visual design emphasizes the stark contrast between black and white. The white image which appears to be purely white actually contains traces, at a closer look, of the huge amount of labor that wasneeded to carve out the letters. The other black image is an image of the actual block. It is the source ofand a reply to the white image in question. This relationship between the black and white images is presented to remind us how we tend to forget the most essential things in the world.
